Yeah - it was me.... and (in my reply a moment ago) I didn't think  
about him possibly using a released version of libMesh.... sometimes I  
forget that people actually do that!

The short answer is.... with 0.6.3 use the command-line arguments for  
Petsc.... with SVN head you can use the parameter.

It's probably getting close.  We're going to be doing more work on the  
Trilinos stuff again starting this week (I say we because we got  
someone else to pick up my slack ;-)  It would be nice if that worked  
before 0.6.4....
